UCB Haas School of Business Transfer

<p>For transferring to haas from community college, is Pasadena Community College or Citrus Cummunity College better?
Thanks!</p>

<p>It wouldn’t make a difference. Good grades, ECs, completion of pre-req classes, good personal statement, and a good résumé are most important.</p>

<p>^ that. </p>

<p>If anything, go to the community college that offers ALL the prereqs that Haas requires. So you’ll be done sooner. </p>

<p>Last year only 10 of the 90 acceptances went to SoCal students. I don’t know what the bias is this year. But given that information going to a NorCal CC would greatly improve your chances. </p>

<p>It shouldn’t matter at all, just make sure the colleges offer all of the prerequisites. I got accepted this year as a transfer from a socal CC. </p>

<p>@bomerr‌ </p>

<p>Um, how can you conclude that going to NorCal would boost your chances of getting in?</p>

<p>You do realize that <strong>correlation doesn’t equal causation</strong>, right? You <em>do</em> realize that maybe those 10 SoCal students met the requirements that the other 80 did not, right? It’s entirely possible that the NorCal students who were more successful in getting in were accepted because they happened to have better GPAs, more pre-reqs completed, better resumes, etc. It hasn’t been established that simply <em>being</em> a student at a NorCal community college would increase your chances of getting in.</p>

<p>You gotta stop with this ■■■■■■ advice you’re giving to people.</p>

<p>Let the war begin!</p>

Is there even a source to this? </p>

<p>@cayton I’m sure from looking at his previous posts, that @bomerr will blame it on the student being international, a URM, or its because they’re not white is why they got into Haas. If I could come to a conclusion he seems like a racist to me. His posts are littered with tons of hate speech. Anyone who sits here all day and reads another persons PS, or compares him or herself to others has a serious problem in life. He needs to get out more instead of spending most of his day on CC spewing unsupported claims. This guy sits here daily and states that he is better than all of the applicants that applied, if that was the case he would be admitted. He clearly takes this college admissions stuff too seriously. </p>

<p>Sorry for the rant guys.</p>

<p>@WhiteTshirt‌ </p>

<p>There’s certainly some truth to what you’re saying. Looking through @bomerr’s post history makes me think he’s extremely bitter about getting rejected from Berkeley and LA. The sad part is that you’re not even the first person to point this stuff out to him.</p>

<p>lol, the guy said that I got in at Berkeley partially because I’m black. He’s a pretty presumptuous mother****** if I’ve ever seen one.</p>

<p>@cayton, I never post on here but him taking a shot at you stating you got into UCB because your black, it’s the same this as saying F all of the handwork I put in to get here. If you got in due to being black the numbers at the UC level would be much higher than a 3% average at most UC’s. I’m sure no one can convince him of anything. Sometimes you have to let people be to their own devices. He is just bitter that the schools did not accept him. Maybe if he checked that presumptuous elitist attitude at the door he would be given a shot. </p>

<p>Oh well I guess everyone is entitled to an opinion no matter how ridiculously stupid it is.</p>

<p>@WhiteTshirt‌ </p>

<p>Couldn’t agree more.</p>

<p>By the way, congrats on getting into USC! Not to be weird, but I looked through your recent post history.</p>

<p>@‌Cayton</p>

<p>Are you stupid? You, yourself admitted you got into UCLA with a lower than AVG gap and only 2 ECs. FYI the two people who got in from my CC said so. Probability alone would would conclude that their is no way ~SF students are 8:1 times more qualified than ~LA students. </p>

<p>@Cayton Thanks, I’m also an URM with a 3.9 GPA took Calc series. if it was left to @bomerr he would say I got in due to race. Couldn’t be because of my hardwork. Oh well can’t please everybody in this world.</p>

<p>@bomerr‌ </p>

<p>mmhmm. Two people getting in from your CC say it, so it must be true. Come on, seriously? Why don’t you, oh, I don’t know, cite an authoritative source, like the Haas business school itself? If you can find an online source from the school or from a Haas admissions officer saying they prefer NorCal students, I’ll happily shut the ■■■■ up and apologize to you. I doubt you can, though.</p>

<p>Oh, and I’m no expert in statistics or anything, but I don’t think you can use probability here to determine that Berkeley has some sort of bias against SoCal students as opposed to rejecting unqualified applicants who happen to be more likely to be SoCal residents.</p>

<p>Please tell me how you’re using probability to prove the existence of a causal relationship between being a NorCal student and being more likely to being accepted. What’s more likely(In my opinion and as far as I know), it just so happens that more applicants who are qualified are applying from NorCal CCs.</p>

<p>@WhiteTshirt
I got As in the calc series and I saw people with Cs get in. </p>

<p>@bomerr‌ </p>

<p>Dude, if you can’t provide an actual source then don’t bother telling OP information that is highly likely to be untrue. </p>

I know it’s shocking, that’s what I thought when I was first it as well but It’s true. Like I said that was last year. I don’t know if this year was any different… but I would add I go to one of the biggest CC in SoCal and I believe only 2 people got in from it this year as well. I know one of the people personally. Everyone else I knew who applied to Haas–including people who got not UCLA Biz-Econ–were rejected so I wouldn’t be surprised if there was still a bias. </p>

<p>@bomerr like I said you worry about others too much. I can’t tell what another person said in their personal statement or what their grades are, nor do I care as a matter of fact. I know what I presented to the admit committee and it got me in.</p>

<p>@bomerr you still have not provided evidence to support your claim. Your Information is #$&$ until it’s supported</p>

<p>I don’t think getting into Haas is as hard as it seems. I’d say just finish every requirement with an A and write a relevant personal statement, have some good business experience. If you do that I’d say you are pretty good to go. Most people that get rejected don’t have the requirements done, or their personal statement isn’t very good. They seem to take a lot of adults and foreign students from CC from what I’ve seen.</p>

<p>I didn’t apply because I didn’t want to take the basic stats class they require and wanted to finish Calc and Linear Algebra instead. I do wish I applied (it was my plan from the start) but I was thinking about graduate school instead. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
